Mr Melendez Your Wife Wants Divorce Long Ago novel Chapter 226

**Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
By J.S. Caldwell

**Chapter 226**

Georgina’s voice quaked with an urgency that sent chills down Jay’s spine. “Jay, my mom just collapsed out of nowhere! I can’t believe this is happening!” Her eyes welled with tears, and the panic in her voice was palpable. “I said some really hurtful things earlier, and I regret it deeply. I swear, as soon as I get her settled in the hospital, I’ll come to your place and apologize properly.”

Without waiting for a response, Georgina sprinted toward the waiting ambulance, her face a portrait of desperation and fear. Arabella stood frozen, her heart heavy as she watched the ambulance pull away, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirling within her.

How could Georgina be so self-absorbed at a time like this? Arabella thought bitterly, her mind racing. I was foolish to hold her in such high esteem.

With a determined stride, Arabella crossed the street, her thoughts racing like the cars zooming past her. Jayceon was standing there, flanked by Samuel and Six, who formed a protective barrier around him, keeping him from following her until she had safely reached the other side and the traffic light turned red.

Samuel, sensing Jayceon’s dazed state, urged him, “Your mother-in-law is in the hospital. Aren’t you even going to check on her?”

Six, ever the joker, ran a hand through his disheveled hair and added with a smirk, “Come on, Sam. Jay’s only interested in the young one; the older generation doesn’t concern him. No need to feel responsible for both.”

Jayceon felt the weight of their words pressing down on him like an anchor. His mood had plummeted, and their careless remarks sent a jolt of guilt and confusion spiraling through him.

Later that afternoon, just past two-thirty, Arabella sat in her office, the atmosphere thick with tension. Her assistant, Sophie, knocked lightly before stepping in, clutching a medical report as if it were a ticking time bomb. “Director Palmer, your husband asked me to deliver this report to you as soon as it was ready.”

Arabella took the report, her eyes scanning the document with a critical gaze. “Please take it to the testing center and have them inform the person to pick it up directly.”

Sophie leaned in, her voice low and conspiratorial. “Director Palmer, you and your husband… is everything alright?”

Arabella met her gaze, her voice steady but laced with bitterness. “He cheated on me, fathered a child with another woman, and now we’re on the brink of divorce.”

Just moments ago, she had come from the inpatient department, where she had seen Georgina admit her mother. Two of her colleagues had witnessed the earlier chaos on the street, and Arabella knew it was only a matter of time before the entire department would learn that Georgina was entangled with her husband.

Since the divorce was inevitable, she thought, why not make a scene? The worst that could happen was Jayceon getting furious and throwing threats around again. But fear had no place in her heart. Julian had promised to protect her and her family, and she believed him wholeheartedly.

At exactly three o’clock, Arabella left the hospital for a house call. Sophie had just finished organizing the office and was about to leave when Jayceon knocked and entered, his demeanor tense, a storm brewing behind his eyes.

“Sophie, where’s Director Palmer?” he asked, scanning the room with a mix of urgency and frustration.

Sophie handed him the medical report, her expression a blend of annoyance and sympathy. “Dr. Palmer is out on a call. This report is meant for you.”

Jayceon glanced at the document briefly before handing it back to her with a dismissive wave. “Just give it to Dr. Palmer directly.”

Jayceon, who had reached the doorway, froze in his tracks, caught off guard by Julian’s declaration.

Turning back, Jayceon surveyed the two figures in the dining room. Julian raised an eyebrow, a hint of challenge in his voice. “Mr. Melendez, you’re more than welcome to stay for dinner.”

Jayceon’s dark eyes were locked onto Arabella, who sat silently at the table, her focus drifting to the incessantly ringing phone in his hand.

The air thickened with unspoken words, and after a few tense seconds, Jayceon turned and exited the room, the door clicking shut behind him with a finality that left a heavy silence in his wake.

Once he was gone, Julian turned to Arabella, his voice low and serious. “Do you really want a divorce?”

Arabella rushed to Julian’s side, her expression earnest and filled with determination. “Uncle, are you willing to help me?”

As the dust settled from the chaotic events of the day, Arabella found herself at a crossroads, grappling with the emotional fallout from her fractured marriage and the unsettling entanglements surrounding her. The tension between her and Jayceon had reached a boiling point, and the weight of betrayal hung heavily in the air. Yet, amidst the turmoil, a flicker of resolve ignited within her. The confrontation with Jayceon, though fraught with unspoken tension, had also been a moment of clarity. Arabella realized that her path forward would not be defined by the shadows of her past but by the strength she could muster to reclaim her own narrative. With Julian by her side, she felt a renewed sense of purpose, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Meanwhile, Jayceon’s departure left him grappling with his own demons, the realization of what he stood to lose settling in like a dark cloud. He had been so consumed by his own desires and distractions that he had failed to see the depth of his actions and their impact on those he claimed to care for. As he walked away from the confrontation, a sense of regret began to seep into his heart. The spark that once connected him to Arabella felt extinguished, replaced by the cold reality of his choices. Yet, as he stepped into the night, a flicker of hope emerged—perhaps it was not too late to seek redemption. With the stakes higher than ever, both Arabella and Jayceon stood on the precipice of change, their paths irrevocably intertwined as they each sought to ignite their own sparks amid the ashes of their past.
